I'm more concerned that they have gone before the Supreme Court to get the REST of Campaign Finance reform overturned - they really really want those unlimited Corporate campaign funds.
What makes you think that not supporting the current bill means the GOP is against financial reform. Is it possible that they might simply not like this particular bill because it doesn't actually reform anything? How can the major problem that drove the financial meltdown be addressed without - reforming Fannie/Freddie - reforming rating agencies - reforming derivatives - reforming the Community Reinvestment Act - reforming lobbying Congress by Wall Street - reforming campaign financing.
- reforming Fed reserve I haven't seen one thing in this bill that actually addresses the problems that drove the housing collapse. And the exact same game that was being played them, continues to be played, and this bill won't change any of it. Nobody complained when the housing bubble - generated huge taxes to government - triggered home revaluations and raised property taxes to government - banks and mortgage brokers paid taxes on their deals to government - every house that was flipped for profit generated sales taxes to government - the senate and house reps from BOTH parties all enjoyed receiving generous contributions from banks, mortgage brokers, and builders - builders employed low cost often illegal workers for profit that generated taxes to government All the players enjoyed the ride, but some how only Wall St. is vilified.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
